Sales Tax Reimbursement Economic Incentive Programs

The City of Livermore offers three Incentive Programs that provide sales tax reimbursement opportunities to eligible businesses. Generally, these programs authorize the City to share with a qualifying business a portion of the sales tax revenue the City receives due to the business' tax-generating activity within the City in order to reimburse a qualifying business for some of the following expenses:

1. City entitlement and development impact fees; and

2. Costs incurred to construct new Public Infrastructure Improvements in the City associated with a business' expansion or establishment.

To qualify for any of the Incentive Programs, a business must actually, or be projected to, generate in excess of $3,000,000 in annual sales taxable by the State of California attributed to activity occurring in the City. Reimbursements will be measured against specific amounts of tax revenues actually received by the City due to such sales.
